    Hopefully people that sign up this time know to ask (repeatedly) for a debit card. Last time, a lot of us applied for an account, including choosing a card colour etc, only to be told that the card application hadn't been processed and had to be ordered separately. Personally, I wanted to give them an innovation for the world's first debit card account that doesn't have an attached debit card. However, after hours of chasing, they eventually issued the card (following my fourth application) and then came good with the voucher.
    Lesson: if you apply for the account and don't receive a card within a week, make sure that you chase it up and prepare to be persistent.

    • tajid on 07/03/2017 - 13:56

      I know a couple of those friends. They never got their cards, could they apply again for this promotion?

      I myself had no problem last time.

    • adpaholic on 07/03/2017 - 14:49

      me too, finally i visit the brands and order the card, but the voucher, when we will receive it? i have waited for few months already

    • Miss B on 07/03/2017 - 17:33

      When I opened the account, the email said you'd need to order a debit card if you want one. When I went in to show ID I got them to set up internet banking and order the card. The person I spoke to said a card would already be sent out, I mentioned what the email said. She looked and no card had been ordered automatically. Do yourself a favour and order the card when you show ID. Tell them the email said you'd need to order it, even if it doesn't, at least they'll check. Worst case you get 2 cards I guess.

      It all went pretty smoothly for me. Transferred $2000 in and out each month to avoid the fee. Did my transactions, got my voucher, cancelled my account over the phone. There's no parking available near my ANZ, unlike every single other bank in this town. The hardest part was the going into the branch part, probably took around 20-30 mins, so allow plenty of time, but otherwise hopefully it should all be pretty easy.

      • peterpeterpumpkin on 08/03/2017 - 10:47

        How long did it take for the voucher?

          Account opened 16/11/16, voucher received 27/01/17. They sent the vouchers in 2 lots mostly I think based on comments from last deal, 19/12 and 27/01. I hadn't done my transactions until after 19/12. There were also a few that trickled through later, I think ones that maybe had issues.

        • peterpeterpumpkin on 08/03/2017 - 17:13

          @Miss B:

          Thanks!

  • puffinfresh on 07/03/2017 - 12:58

    Have fun with this. ANZ will likely assign you a non-debit card, rather than the Visa Debit required to meet the criteria. Make sure when you go into the branch for the ID check (Yes, everyone needs to do one, even if you already have an account with them. Even if a month earlier they gave you a $10000 credit limit without needing to see ID).

    Edit: I'm also fairly sure that last time people who made use of the exemptions on the $5 account fee were technically signed up to a different account. Something like Access Student or Access Senior rather than Access Advantage, which ANZ said then made them ineligible for the deal.

    • INFIDEL on 07/03/2017 - 13:25

      Had fee waived & got correct account & $100 card. Worked smoothly, just applied online & went into branch for id & was set up. Spent 3 times & selected from ecards offered.

  • INFIDEL on 07/03/2017 - 13:18

    Worked well for me last time😯
    Free $100 card & fees waived - simple.

    People who successfully got the deal can't apply again, so would be less likely to post comments than those who had problems last time.

    • aldoboy on 08/03/2017 - 08:11

      how did you waive your fee?

      • INFIDEL on 08/03/2017 - 09:53

        Read the options for waiving fee with this account on ANZ site. Apply online for normal account. Proof of eligibility is required when providing ID in branch.

    It took absolutely forever to get this card and account running. As in months. But once it was going, I made the three purchases and received my e-card on the last day of the promotion. Surprisingly, it was super simple to actually close the account - just called and said I'd like to close it and it took literally 30 seconds. But even for the $100 I don't know if I'd go through the multiple visits to ANZ to try and have the account opened again if I had my time over.

    • puffinfresh on 07/03/2017 - 14:43
      +3

      I was told I had to go in branch to close it. They calculated the account fee pro-rata for that month, so I owed something like $3.05, which they could only take cash for. I didn't have cash on me, so I had to go fetch some.

  • singlemalt72 on 07/03/2017 - 14:31

    It used to be $100 cash in your account and it was credited the month following your eligible purchases so you only needed to keep it open for 2 months. Now it's a gift card, you need to keep the account open until you receive your gift card code some time after June 4 so meanwhile, you need to transfer $2000 a month in (and out) to avoid the account keeping fee….all becoming a bit of a PITA.

    Still, $100 is $100, I'll do it again for me and the wife ….. Is there and age limit? I could do one for my daughter too!

    • Turd on 07/03/2017 - 14:33

        New to this whole deal and this is the part I'm confused about, the account fees and how long you have to have the account, are you saying you spent just $5 once for a monthly fee, got your giftcard and were able to cancel without fees after that?
        So essentially you came out 95$ richer?

        • Turd on 07/03/2017 - 20:20

          Less than a month.

          No fee was charged.

          $100 richer minus some interest for putting 2k in but realised didn't need to later.

  • lgacb08 on 07/03/2017 - 14:41

    WARNING: Beware of dodgy branch staff, my wife opened the account online last time this deal was on and went to branch to verify ID and staff said because she didn't put her middle name in the application, they had to delete the pending account and give her new account number. No wonder she didn't get any giftcard, took countless of calls and complaints before ANZ gave her the $100. Apparently branch get some sort of incentive when they open the account so some staff goes extra miles at customer's expense.

      I did complain to ANZ before, it always happen after i visited their branches, and they said as my mortage thru my broker so maybe it from my broker. However my broker is my friend so I definitely sure he won't.

      • lgacb08 on 07/03/2017 - 15:13

        well, that's dodgy as, i'm quite annoyed with CBA branch staff nagging me about homeloan and credit card offers everytime I went to the branch but that was nothing compared to yours

I don;t activated it and cancel it again, ANZ said maybe it all request by my broker…….

    It feels weird to say that it's not worth your time to get a free $100 but with ANZ I would actually say yeah, it wasn't worth it.

    1. Apply.
    2. Go into branch and wait for the ID check.
    3. Wait for card.

    Pretty sure steps 1-3 took about 2 weeks when I did it.

    1. Transfer money onto account.
    2. Wait for transfer to clear.
    3. Visit ATM to change PIN.
    4. Make purchases.
    5. Wait for promo to be recognised.
    6. Go into branch and close account. Have to pay pro rata account fee unless you have enough left in the account.

    Edit: application was made on 2016-11-15. Dunno when I got the card but I did not get the promo until 2016-12-19.

      Drive to and waiting in branch for ID check | 40 minutes
      Transfer money into account | 5 minutes
      Visit ATM to change pin and make 3 purchases while you're there | 15 minutes

      Total time | 60 minutes

      Calculates out to be $100/hour. Unless you're getting paid more than $100/hour, then it's definitely worth your time.

    What would be the correct way to approach this if I plan on cancelling my account after getting the gc so that I can apply for future promotions. Is it as simple as?:

    -Open account
    -Meet criteria
    -Get gc
    -Cancel account
    -Wait for next promo and hope you don't fall in the exclusion list

    • lolmao on 07/03/2017 - 19:46

      Yep and make sure you keep depositing $2000 per month until you close the account to avoid $5 fee.

    So last time they paid out on the last day of promotion regardless of application date? Would it be better to apply in April to avoid having to shift $2000 around as often?

    Man, I don't really want to go back to that dark place and relive the trauma. But $100.

      Not quite, they did let you get your GC before the promotion ended. Mine took just over 1 month.

    too much effort for $100
